You sent in your bargaining team nominations and the new team is ready to fight at the bargaining table to lift up Ventura County!
Over the next weeks your unity and involvement will be crucial to ensure we win a contract that invests in communities by supporting County of Ventura frontline workers.

We did not have enough time to vote. 1 week is not enough. Also not everyone got their ballots on time. There are many changes going on with IVR as well as OX IEC that took our time away from this election voting process. Due to low voting, I believe we should have another election .
Hi Felipa, we actually had a record number of ballots cast for this bargaining team election. We mailed out ballots the first week of March and also sent various reminders and had worksite meetings across the County.
